ugh I am so bad at planning, I could have afforded to go to Paris by bus if I had done it just a few more days ahead of time :/ oh well.  It’s possible if I go at the end of my time here (October, waah!) I might be able to stay with my french friend, and that would be nice.  So even though I have 5 days off I will be going to Venice for like… 2 days haha.   We’ll see how it goes!

 At any rate.   I feel weird asking for favors but IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT, I too submitted to the mayhem and put up a blog (one is still pending) on the Feministing community site for the “So you think you can blog” contest.   If it interests you, please read it- if you really have something to say, consider commenting- anyhow, I’ll tell you the title and give a little blurb and then you can decide. :P  It also might interest you if you’re new to the site since it gives a little more context to my personal life/past.
